graucats

in night
                           all cats are gray
                  all dreaming generalizations
                                        are equally guilty
in dark   in time
                           all cats are becoming
                                        gray
zones of dark times, eventuating
and we are all equally guilty
                                        in night
                                        in dark times
by night all cats look gray
(to me?) I    to you     to he/she/it
to we       you all       they
they are gray, indiscriminate
                         plucked from the sea of shade
for posterity.

is this what the big party is all about?
                         returning them in their little parts
(P.A.R.T.S.) to the sea
                                         to shades
of gray cats

[the red square, the concrete plaza
            (the grass will not do
            ) the closet will not do
felt. wares.
the little red felt square
wears the gray
cat
                                         by night.
